WARNING...WARNING..."Mag" Boy... Report...According to Road & Track OCT. '05 Road Test results:
Top Speed....Crossfire - 150 mph....................S2000 - 156 mph
0-60 mph.....Crossfire - 6.7 sec.......................S2000 - 5.4 sec
1/4 mile.......Crossfire - 14.9 sec.....................S2000 - 13.9 sec
Skidpad.......Crossfire - 0.89...........................S2000 - 0.91 sec
Slalom........Crossfire - 69.6 mph....................S2000 - 69.7 mph
It looks to me that it would be just the opposite. In the twisties, it would be a "drivers" race. But in the straight line, the Honda would suck our doors off.
That may be true in magazine world, but not in reality, Everyone knows the big name magazines are given ringers for testing, overly tuned ECU maps grippy tires tuned suspension, etc...
I only speak from experience while going against two s2K's so far... but I seriously have my doubts about the slalom. The crossfire is very heavy on the front end compared the S2k, which I don't know the balance numbers I'm guessing it's lighter up front due to the 4 banger.
